| Associate professor in Organic electronics formally based at the Department of Science and Technology (ITN). | 06/10/2022 | LiU-2022-03130 |
| The research and education in organic electronics at the Department of Science and Technology (ITN) and the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) focus on the study of electronically and ionically conductive organic materials in a range of areas including, but not limited to, energy conversion, printed electronics, polymer electronics, photonics, and bioelectronics. The specific focus of this position as an associate professor is polymer electronics. Polymer electronics focuses on developing electronic devices containing electrically (semi-)conductive organic polymers. It offers the possibility of an advanced electronics platform that uses new materials, processes, and electronic devices. Polymer (semi)conductors are solution-processable, biocompatible, biodegradable, soft, and malleable from a structural point of view. They can be easily functionalized to offer specialized excitation, sensing, and activation possibilities and support the transport of electrons and ions. This opens up new opportunities for electronic systems that go beyond the reach of conventional electronics based on silicon as semiconductors. | ||
| Two postdocs in industrial management with focus on management in complex intelligent systems | 03/10/2022 | IEI-2022-00467 |
| We are looking for two postdocs in industrial management with focus on management in complex intelligent systems at the division for Projects, Innovations and Entrepreneurship. The postdoctoral positions are part of the research project on complex intelligent systems and the future of management as part of the The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanities and Society (WASP HS). The goal is to realize research and develop competence on the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems with a strong investment in research on humanities and social science. The research aims at contributing to unravelling the future of management in a context where intelligent technologies become an important part of complex systems as can be found in e.g. transportation, healthcare, power supply and represent systems infrastructure that is critical for society. The way we approach complex intelligent systems will have huge impact on our ability to benefit from artificial intelligent (AI) as well as avoiding negative consequences. The overall research question is “How can organisations be managed to responsibly contribute to, and benefit from, the emergence of artificial intelligence and complex intelligent systems?” The research combines technology and management perspectives while considering social aspects. | ||
